What a great hotel! The staff was extremely friendly, and the food in the restaurant was very yummy. (I highly recommend the crab cakes!) I took 1 star off because the rooms don't have microwaves, and the restaurant has rules against warming "outside food". [Suggestion: One could easily be placed in the areas where the ice machine is located.] Other than that, I'd gladly stay again (and remember to eat all my "outside food" so leftovers don't go to waste).

It's a great hotel.right in the heart of the city. Staff was super amazing and very helpful especially the lady at the front desk she was awesome and very professional. There are many places and restaurants nearby. Hotel room was nice with a good window view of the city and the beds were comfortable. I would definitely comeback back here.

A seamless and relaxing stay. The check-in process was smooth, the room was perfectly prepared, and the atmosphere throughout the property was welcoming. Staff demonstrated professionalism and genuine hospitality. Every aspect of the visit reflected high standards and careful management.

The room was cozy and the staff was very friendly. Note that the following statement is not a negative note towards the hotel. But simply a personal one: the room would not go below 70⁰, despite setting the thermostat to 65⁰. For me that made the night a little uncomfortable, but I still got a full night's sleep. I would definitely come here again. I'll just bring a small fan with me next time.

Was here during Christmas 2025. Since Federal workers were granted (3) holidays this week the normally congested and busy area was like a ghost town during the holiday weekend. The hotel was quiet I did not visit the bar or restaurant within quite simply because no one was there. My room was clean absolutely no hotel smell in my clothes. Only complaint is that although I rented a premiere room it was very tiny AND no microwave. There was water in the room and your coffee station is located in the bathroom...so shower and sip (like an inmate). Of course being at Thomas Circle location is near whatever you want. I ordered me a couple super slices from 18th Street and there were there in like 20 minutes no cap!!!

Rooms are being updated. I know this because I could hear the construction going on. Once that is done, it gets five stars all around. My room was definitely dated. Nice , but dated. Great gym, pool, and everything you would expect from a fancy (expensive) hotel.

Great hotel, in a great location. The staff are especially helpful. I had accidentally left my suitcase in the front lobby and a hotel employee by the name of Arvin ran me down as I was waiting for my uber to make sure I didn’t leave it!! So thoughtful and so nice!

Stayed for two nights, love this hotel! Staff was super helpful and friendly. Room was very clean, beds were so comfy, love that they give out bottles of water unlimited. The neighborhood is great, walking distance to bistros and pubs. Nice vibe in the hotel bar too. Great drinks, try the Limoncello Martini. ! I'm definitely coming back. Wish the room had a microwave, the frig was a plus.
